This church is beautifully maintained! Based on the conversation we had with the ladies there, it was restored to a more traditional design, which is simple yet beautiful. The burial grounds are impressive, there are many headstones from the 1800's, which is what I find most impressive. The headstones and mausoleums are very well maintained, the fact that they're clearly legible is admirable. It's also a neat place to visit for Robert Frost fans. I didn't know this before visiting, but he and is buried here, and there's markers for him and his family. We stopped by his former home earlier in the day, so it was rather coincidental to learn he was buried here. read more

One of the oldest churches in Vermont and an epitome of New England Congregationalist churches. Lovely interior in a style which could be classed as minimalist classical. Beautiful steeple. Well worth a visit. read more

Driving into Vermont to go shopping we decided to stop and see this church. It is totally amazing. It is the oldest church in Vermont and beautifully maintained. The women that were there to ask questions were so knowledgeable and were also so helpful as well. I was able to get some great images to use in my classroom. This is a must see site in Bennington, Vermont and is totally worth the drive and your time. read more
